The National CyberWatch Center is joining with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the National Cyber Security Alliance, and the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center in celebrating National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) 2014.

Information security is a shared responsibility and National Cyber Security Awareness Month provides an opportunity to take stock of our current security posture, while also engaging others in a dialogue about emerging security issues.

During the month, look for more information on ways you can participate in NCSAM:

“In an effort to identify novel approaches to cybersecurity education, the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorates of Computer & Information Science & Engineering and Education and Human Resources jointly sponsored a Cybersecurity Education Workshop, which was held February 24 & 25, 2014 at The George Washington University Arlington, VA Graduate Center.

The purpose of the workshop was to convene a diverse set of experts representing the computer science education (CS Ed), cybersecurity research, education and assessment, and industry communities in order to identify novel, compelling, and mutually beneficial approaches to advancing cybersecurity education. The recommendations resulting from the workshop will help guide the evolution of academic programs within the broad range of educational institutions.”

U.S. Senator Tim Kaine speaks with the Leadership Team from the National CyberWatch Center, as well as administrators, students and faculty about Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) at Northern Virginia Community College – Alexandria campus.
